How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Estradiol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Endogenous estrogens are largely responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics.

Although circulating estrogens exist in a dynamic equilibrium of metabolic interconversions, estradiol is the principal intracellular human estrogen and is substantially more potent than its metabolites, estrone and estriol at the receptor level.

How the body breaks it down

Exogenous estrogens are metabolized in the same manner as endogenous estrogens.

How it leaves the body

Estradiol, estrone, and estriol are excreted in the urine along with glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
